A Clearlake woman with the last name of Meth was sentenced to two years in prison for smuggling a fatal dose of methamphetamine to a California inmate.

Johna Martinez-Meth, 46, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the May 28, 2018, death of Adrian Sepulveda, who swallowed several balloons full of the drug shortly after Martinez-Meth visited him at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville.

Sepulveda, 46, was serving a life sentence for second-degree murder in a 1997 case out of Alameda County.

According to prosecutors, Martinez-Meth hid the drugs and balloons on her person and slipped them to Sepulveda during the visit.

After getting a warrant, agents searched Martinez-Meth's house on Aug. 2. They found methamphetamine, balloons and glue, officials said, and arrested her the same day.
